REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS IN ELECTION NEXT WEEK
DEMOCRATS SEEk MORE
i.
, The R'publlcan party In Pennsylvania,
, with It overwhelmlnr and record -breaking
enrollment. Is conducting a vigorous cum
palrn to Increase the number of Ilepub-
Mean Congressmen from thla State.
Consresslonal. contests are being- craned
(n fourteen of tha thirty-two districts In
Hha State. Five of them were launched
br tha ltepubllcans with tha hope of cap
taring Ave of the present alx Democratic
districts. In the other nine dlatrlcts the
Pemocratlo candidates are waging cam
paigns to capture present Republican dis
trict, with some slight chances of success.
The only congressional district In the
'State now represented by a Democrat, In
Which the Republicans do not expect to
elect a Republican member of Congress, Is
the Twenty-sixth, or northeastern district
This district Is known as A. Mitchell Tal
tn.t's, and Is represented by Henry J.
Steele. It embraces Carbon, Monroe, North
ampton arid Pike Counties.
SMALU CHANCE FOR LEWIS
The Republicans have nominated Wlnfred
D. Lewis, of Lansford, but the district Is
considered strongly Democratic and there
appears to be little chance of Lewis's election.
In the plevenlh. Thirteenth, Sixteenth,
Nineteenth and Twenty-fifth Districts, how
ever, the Republican leaders appear conn-
dent of electing their candidates In the
places of present Democratic Congressmen.
In the Kleventh District, which Includes
-( all of Luterne County, the Republicans
save nominaicu u w Acmpieion, wno is
considered as strong personally as John
J, Casey, Democratic candidate for re
election. The district la normally slightly
Republican. A third candidate, Jonathan
R. Davis, Is In the field, having won the
Washington and Prohibition nominations,
but be Is not expected to take much
strength away from either Templeton or
Caaey.
In the Thirteenth District, which Includes
Berks and Lehigh counties, Congressman
Arthur O. Dowalt Is having a hard cam
paign for re-election.
The district Is Democratic by a large
major ty, but Horace W. Chantx, the
Republican nominee, carried It for two
terms as State Senator and apparently Is
vnow cutting In on Dewalt's Democratic
strength. He has the Washington, Bull
Moose and Roosevelt Progressive nomina
tions besides the Republican to help him
John V. Lesher, present Democratic
Congressman from the Sixteenth District,
Is having a close contest for re-election.
The Republicans have nomtnted I. Clinton
Kline. He also won the Washington and
Prohibition nominations. The district In
cludes Columbia. Montour, Northumberland
and Sullivan Counties, and Is normally
Republican. With a Hughes sweep In
Pennsylvania the Republican leaders ex-
ct the defeat of Lesher.
The Republicans apparently should have
easy time defeating Warren Wortn

At, the very outset of the campaign the
Ude set In In faVor of the Republican
nominee, John M. Rose.
When Dalley was first elected to Con
gress four years ago In a three-cornered
fight, he had only thirty-two per cent of
the vote cast for all candidates, and when
be wan re-elected two years ago he had
nly thlrty-stx: per cent.
His plurality over tho next high candi
date In 1912 was 91S, and his plurality over
the next hlghcandldato two years ago was
4S3.
Dalley must split the votes that ht did
not get In the last three-cornered fight to
win; and his chances are not In the least
bettered by the registration of voters In
Cambria County, which, shows more than
1S.000 Republicans, on the lists and about
one-third as many Democrats.
In the Erie-Crawford district, the1 Twenty-fifth,
State Senator Henry A. Clark, the
Republican nominee, has the support of the
reunited Republicans, but has to fight a
third candidate who may take votes away
from hlnii Charles N. Crosby, of Lines-
Tflle, Is the Democratic nominee, while Wil
liam W. Klncald, who opposed Clark for
the Republican nomination. Is on the Wash
ington and Prohlb tton tickets.
Klncald has refused to withdraw, al
though the friends of Senator Clark do not
feel that he has any considerable strength.
Crosby defeated Congressman Michael
Llebel, Jr., for the Democratic nomination,
and there la talk of desertions from (he
Crosby standard among the Llebel Demo
crats. The Reorganlaxtlon wing of the Democ
racy In the district Is led by United States
District Attorney IS. Lowrey Humes. Llebel
did, not secure much recognition In the
Way of Federal patronage, and, aa a result,
the reorganliers are 'not all satisfied with
Croaby, who Is a follower of Llebel,
The district la normally RepuMlcan, and
th enrollment for thla election shows 4000
more Republicans on the lists than Demo
crats. Klncald's strergth, and the possibility of
bis cutting Into the strength of Clark, lies
In the Prohibition vote. There are nearly
1000 Prohlbltlontsta enrolled In the dis
trict, and they are not all united behind
Klrcald. If the element opposed to Kln
cald ahould throw their strength to Crosby,
Clark will have a cloae fight
CONTESTS IN CITT
The Democrats have launched fights to
wlrr,,dlstrlcts that are now represented by
Jiepuoucans in the Finn ana Bixtn Dis
tricts, (n Philadelphia: In the Tenth, Fif
teenth, Seventeenth, Twentieth, Twenty
third, and In the Thirtieth and Thirty-sec-nd
Districts In Pittsburgh.
In the two contested Philadelphia dll
trlcts the Republican candidates are confi
dent of winning. Former Congressman
Michael Donphoe Is the Democratic candi
date opposing Peter' E- Costello for re
election in the Kenslniton-Frankford dla
Wot, Donohoe Is a protective tariff Democrat
and has a large personal following In the
mill district His chance for election,
however, depend Upon one faction of (he
Republican party knifing Coetello, and both
factions today declare that they are united
fceklnd Costello.
Former Congressman J, Washington
Logue Is the Democratic nominee In the
Oermantown-Weet Philadelphia district, and
Is making a vigorous campaign, Congress,
anan aeorge P, Darrow, however, haa the
united Republican support In the district;
wMeh Is .strongly Republican.

The Legislature which will convene In
Harrlsburg next January will be almost a
duplicate of the 1915 General Assembly,
according to pre-election Indications.
The prospects of another bitter factional
fight between Penrose and McNIchol on
the one hand and the Vares and Governor
Ilrumbauch on the other, have led Repub
lican Organisation leaders In all parts of
the State to pay particular attention to
the campaigns of the legislative candidates,
so that the prospects of an Increase In
the Democratic representation are ery
slight Only an overwhelming sweep for
Wilson In the State could Increase the
rumber of Democrats In either branch, ac
cording to observers.
INDEPENDENTS ELIMINATED
The Independents will be almost wholly
without representation. The passing of the
Washington party organisation Into the
control of the Republican Organisation
leaders throughout the State eliminated In
the primary the legislative candidates who
might hae been classed as Independents,
and threw the Washington party nomina
tions, except In remote cases, to the Re

consisting of 207 members. Is to be elected.
Twenty-five Senators, or Just one-half of
the total number of members In the upper
branch, also are to be elected.
Even the division on local option, which
will come up again next year, will be about
the same as last, according to present Indi
cations. In 1915 local option had 78 votes
In the house. The local optlonlsts, however,
are suggesting some surprises when this
Issue comes up.
In the Senate McNIchol and Crow, who
led the fight for the Penrose-McNIchoI wing
of the party last session, and through whose
influence the Ilrumbaugh workmen's com
pensation, child labor and similar measures
Were able to pass, will again be members.
McNIchol Is un for re-election. Senator
Edwin H, Vare, who led the fight for Brum
baugh In the Legslature, also Is up for re
election. MARTIN MAT REPLACE FARLEY
The Vare-Drumbaugh forces apparently
will win one member at least In the new

Republican red fire. Republican torch
lights and Republican oratory are destined
to sweep forward to another Republican
Ictory.
Meetings scheduled ns prosaic committee
meetings are transformed Into enthusiastic
gatherings, with plenty of the ancient "tip"
and "hooray." The Progressive, back In the
fold from which he wandered four years
ago, applauds as loudly as the ever-faithful
one; and the two, presenting a reunited
front, look forward to their vision of vic
tory. One of the night signs which augurs
a whirlwind wind-up of the Republican
campaign was given to the O. O. P. In the
Forty-sixth Ward, There was not to be
any campaign oratory, according to Harry
A. Mackey. It was Just a committee meet
ing, not a mass-meeting, he explained, at
the Forty-sixth Ward Republican head
quarters. He made this obseratlon be
cause the full seats, with rows upon rows
of men, belled the schedule.
And when the meeting got under wsy It
had every semblance of an old-time rally.
Orators with high flights of rhetoric ns-
salted the Democratic administration. Tho
eagle fairly screamed with rnga at tho
blunders of the "verbal acrobat, who turns
somersaults upon Webster's dictionary."
WARNING OF TRADE WAR
One of the most concise speakers was
Archibald Webster, who took tho audience
by storm w th his rattling succession of
figures and his stern warning of the trade
war that Is to come In the wake of the
European conflict
This Is the wealthiest of nations," he
said. "We are prospering as never before.
But the Democratic party has no moro to
do with It than had the Shall of Perala,
"I shall proo this fact In three ways
First that the $1,000,000,000 excess exports
over Imports consists of a few articles; sec
ond, that the excewt goes to countries at
war, and third, that If the war had not
come, under the Underwood tariff. Instead
of prosperity we should now have adver
sity." Thereupon Mr. Webster, who la a manu
facturing chemist, amazed his hearers by
snapping out a string of figures which
showed that of the tZ.000,000,000 excess
$ 1.260,000,000 Is represented by steel, ex
plosUcs, brass, leather, aeroplanes and au
tomobiles and horses and mules war busi
ness. The remainder Is foodstuffs. Uch as
wheat meats and sugar, he said. The ex
ports to countries not at war, Including
China, Australia and .Argentina, hao de
creased since tha war began, which proves
his second proposition, he declared. His
third proposition was borne out by the
fact that after the Underwood measure be
came a law, until the war began, exports
decreased at the rate of JU.000,000 a month
and Imports Increased 126,000,000 a month,
he polpted out.
"Unless we have a protective tariff the
end of this war will bring the gaunt wolf
of starvation howling long and loud at your
threshold," he concluded. "The Democratic
threat like the sword of Damocles, hangs
over your heads, suspended only by the
war-thread of Europe."

A hall large enough to accommodate the
throng of Voters expected to attend the
West Philadelphia rally could not be ob

announced. One of the meetings will be
held In the Fifty-second Street Theater.
Mayor Smith will preside at the rally In

be held In Moose Hall, 1112 North Broad

Ho called attention to tha long line of legis

The "sob sister" appeal used by so many Piano
dealers with good results in the past is fast losing its
effectiveness with the present generation, which demands
realities, not fiction.
"Heart melodies," "liquid tones" and other such,
thoughts from the imaginative brains of the copy writer
have ceased to spell piano value to the purchaser.
Pretty cases and "music that cannot be described"
(probably for a good reason) is no longer a selling point
The Piano buyer of today demands Piano rvalue that rep
